  • A Must-Have for Adult Fans

    the first reviewer is confused. wally wood was a huge flash gordon and prince valliant fan, and he was certainly familiar with newspaper comics, as was everyone of his age, he's also of the first generation of cartoonists who read the early comicbooks. robert crumb? he remembers seeing the first issue of mad comics when he was 5, but was a fan of superduck and carl barks. frank miller? you gotta be kidding. he was never influenced by 1930s comics,but that's all fanboy bullshit. Notwithstanding, whatcha gots here is an ace compilation of early comics, at a generally nice price. a hundred years ago comics were considered to have been created by illiterates for the immigrant and criminal classes, and these show why. unlike their sanitized post-war versions, these were written for an adult ...

  • You think you know comics?

    This book is a marvelous compendium of comics from the days when they came exclusively from newspapers, before Wally Wood or R. Crumb or Frank Miller...those guys cut their teeth on this stuff. Amazing to think that printers dedicated to thrift would nonetheless give massive amounts of space, in full color no less, to what was even then considered a lowbrow form of mass entertainment. From Popeye and Mickey Mouse to The Gumps and The Smythes and Little Nemo, an education in early 20th century graphical design can be had from the pages of this tome, to say nothing of hours of entertainment. Well worth the time and money to seek this book out!

  • Fantastic Picture of History

    First off, this book is BIG - definitely coffee table book size. Second, it has a collection ranging from the early to mid/late 1900's. It is amazing to see how political correctness has changed comics and attitudes over nearly a century. But beyond all, we see three main themes of comics - thrill/adventure, buffoonery and slightly veiled political jabs. There is a little of each here, along with several complete serialized episodes - beautiful picture of how the world imagined and amused itself during a period of unbounded growth and optimism, together with the disaster of world wars.

  • Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics

    Great book. Many pages had old comics and articles taped to them, but helped to add to the history of the strips on the book. Overall, great publication and in good shape.
